DELIVERY-SLIPIHOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 591,950, dated October 19, 1897.

Application filed January 22, 1897. Serial No. 620,302. (No model.)

To all whom it Wttl/ concern:

Be it known that I, FRANK T. CLARK, residing at Omaha, in the county of Douglas and State of Nebraska, have invented certain useful Improvements in Delivery-Slip Holders; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification.

This invention has relation to a new and noveldelivery-slip holder, the object of my invention being to provide a light and simple holder in the shape of a book-cover adapted to removably hold one or more delivery-slips.

A great many business houses have messengers who are simply employed to deliver small packages and these messengers are required to get a receipt for the packages delivered. To provide a neat and serviceable holder to accommodate these receipts is the aim of this invention.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 shows one of my delivery-slip holders as open. Fig. 2 shows a top View of the same as closed. Fig. 3 shows a modification disclosing a broken sectional view of one of the edges, showing one of the clips in position, while Fig. 4 shows a detail of one of the clips.

My invention comprises, essentially, two leaves A A, made of any suitable material and size, which are in the shape of the covers of a book and which are connected by means of a flexible back 6. Near each end each of these leaves is provided with a small pocket (4, adapted to receive the ends of the deliv' cry-slip, while at four points near and adjoining the flexible back I) are the springclips 0. These clips are so positioned that which are held within the holder by placing them first under the four clips which securely holds the slips in position, and then insert the ends of the slips into the pockets Ct, so that the holders can be opened or closed or doubled back without disarranging or loosening the slips. These slips are usually of a length corresponding to the full width of the book, the name coming upon one end of the delivery-slip, and it is found that the parties receipting them usually double the holder so that they can more easily affix their signatures. The book B is made flexible enough so that that can be readily done, and when the holder is closed again the slip readily accommodates itself below the clips.

Having thus described my said invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by United States Letters Patent, is-

The combination with two leaves secured by a flexible back of pockets at the ends of said leaves and a plurality of clips near the flexible back, all arranged as and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

FRANK T. CLARK.
